Maybe you have an aftermarket oil pan with a larger capacity?

Thank for taking the time to measure and let me know! I really appreciate it.
I'm still really confused though... I've never heard of anyone else having an extra capacity oil pan on our VXs... I let it sit in the garage overnight and pulled the dipstick again this morning. Right at the FULL line after adding (and starting it up to circulate the oil) 5 1/2 Qts of oil.
Are the specs online just wrong? Don't know how I never noticed this until now, since I've had this VX since 2003.

No problem....glad to help.
Is this a function of a brand new oil filter ...
....taking up 1/2 qt of oil... ??
Just a thought!
